As soon as I took the brush out the packet the handle feel off, unless feel unique opened it before dispatching they wouldn't have noticed so I don't blame than at all and after a bit of super glue the brush is fine and works well, not the best brush I have used as you do have to be very careful when blending otherwise you end up with stroke marks, so be careful and make sure you use up upwards circular motions to buff the foundation into the skin and wipe the brush before buffing away any strokes you've missed, but for £10.40 it certainly the best cheaper brush I've used. But if your looking for that perfect "airbrushed" finished I would recommend forking our the extra and going for dior or guerlain
